What is the difference between GetThreadID() and GetCurrentThreadID()?
There is a threadvar called "threadid" in the system unit. When a new
thread is started, GetCurrentThreadID is called to obtain the thread
id of the new thread (via the thread manager) and the result is stored
in the threadid threadvar. GetThreadID simply returns the value of
this threadvar.
So in summary: there is no semantic difference.
They return different values. I think GetCurrentThreadID is the more
trustworthy one. When control returns to my main thread then
GetCurrentThreadID = MainThreadID and GetThreadID <>MainThreadID
